There are some things most people do not clean very well, even when they enter their car into a car show, but believe me it matters, and having been a judge of such events, I can tell you one easy disqualifier; dirty seatbelts. So, how do you clean the seat belts on your classic car you ask? Well, let me give you the secrets to the trade.
When you take your car in to get an auto detail, you'll be amazed at the attention they spend on cleaning and treating the interior. In fact, it is liable to look better than new. And really for the price of an auto detail these days, well, it ought to, right? Sure, and still, having been in the business for decades, one thing I've noticed is that so often auto-detailers skip things, items that you and I would notice in our own cars. One of those things is the seat belts.
Car Seat
Yes, that's right the seatbelts and there is a right way and a wrong way to clean them too. Seatbelts get stains on them, you know a little blood here, and a little spilt frappuccino there, it happens. Below are tips for you:
1. First note that it is easy to stain seat belts if you use the wrong types of cleaner. It's also easy to use a cleaner that will leave residue and leave welt marks on your bare skin in the future when the safety belts are hot from the sun or moist from humidity. So, use mild cleaners not alkali type cleaners.
2. To clean the seatbelts properly you'll have to extend them out all the way, completely unrolled. And then hook them to something so they do not roll back or get them to click so they stay extended.
3. Next, remove the cover, generally these pop up, separate into two, or hinge at the base. Don't force them, as when or if they are brittle they can break.
4. When wiping, always pull away from the catch, not towards it. Never use a lot of cleaner, and always apply the cleaner to the rag, micro-cloth, or brush, not the actual safety harness.
5. Like mattresses, it happens to be illegal to remove the tags. No, there are no mattress police or seatbelt police, but this is an FYI. You also do not want to discolor the label or smear the information on that label, someone may need it someday to remove and replace it.
6. When cleaning the buckle, I recommend using chrome polish, but make sure you get it all off, as it can gum up the receiver if you don't, or cause it not to click into place quickly and effortlessly as it should.
You will be totally surprised how much grunge comes off of your safety belts; this is due to years of sweat, dust, stains, and moisture build-up. It really makes a big difference. So, please consider all this.

Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel Accessory Overview
ATTN: Britax owners. If our product is too short, please check to be sure your LATCH straps are in the forward facing position. Whether flying on an airplane or traveling by train or bus, it is safest and most comfortable for your child to be in a car seat. But traveling with a young child, their seat, and your carry-on can be tricky. Not anymore. The Traveling Toddler strap allows you to attach your LATCH and top tether equipped toddler's car seat to a rolling carry-on suitcase. Simply attach the LATCH and top tether straps from the car seat to the Traveling Toddler and adjust the straps so that the car seat is held securely on the suitcase. Once adjusted, the car seat can be detached and reattached to the suitcase in seconds. Lift the handle of your carry-on bag and you have a fun new stroller. Now there's an easy and inexpensive way to take your toddler's car seat and other gear on your trip. You do not have to buy a special seat or suitcase. As long as your suitcase handle locks in place, you can push it like a stroller. Your hands are free for check in and its simple to unhook for security. Keep your child safe and comfortable in their own seat. The Traveling Toddler has been tested with most major car seat brands including Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, Evenflo, and Britax, and a variety of carry-on suitcases and has worked with every combination. It is important that the telescoping handle of your suitcase locks in place. If not, it might not stay extended when you try to push your child in front of you, though you would still be able to pull them. If flying, make sure that your car seat is FAA approved before traveling. The Traveling Toddler strap is made from heavyweight polypropylene webbing that will withstand 900 lbs of force. When not in use it easily slips in the pocket of your carry-on. As with any other wheeled child carrier, do not use the Traveling Toddler on stairs or escalators.
